Frustrated

As we near the end of another year and you mentally assess how it has gone for you, what is your overall feeling? Are you frustrated, frazzled or flying?

If it is anything other than flying that probably indicates a lack of something. Either a lack of knowing what to do, or a lack of doing it or perhaps a lack of effort (unusual if you are a business owner).

What are you lacking? And I ask that question tongue in cheek. My coach used to say “Ian, we know what we know but we don’t know what we don’t know, and it is always what we don’t know that costs us” so a better question is how are you going to find out what you don’t know that is costing you and causing you to not be flying?

There are two simple answers. The first is reading and hoping that you will happen upon something that you should know and be doing but that you aren’t right now. The more certain method is by having a structured conversation with someone who has been in the same situation and has already found some of the answers and can help you find the answer that works best for you.

That is either a mentoring or a coaching conversation. I’ll cover the difference in a future article.

So the questions for this week are;

• Who is currently coaching you?
• Are they helping you find the answers that uniquely work for you and your unique business?
• Do the people who coach you have the track record to indicate they can help you get to that next level?
• Do the people who coach you have the credentials to help you get to that next level?
